Man Fights Armed (Hoodie Wearing) Robber Over Moped and Wins

This is a discussion on Man Fights Armed (Hoodie Wearing) Robber Over Moped and Wins within the Carry & Defensive Scenarios forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I know what I would have done and would have reacted to this. The video would be shorter. How about you in this situation? A ...

This is actually amazing to watch the repeated DECISION of the good guy to protect the moped. I say decision because I think it's crazy that after looking down the barrel of that gun for such a long time that he didn't retreat and keep himself and his friend safe OR use the weapon he had in his back pocket. Also I agree with the above comment that he made a further bad decision by firing AFTER the bad guy had fled with nothing in hand. Glad it ended with the good guys not getting any further hurt than whatever happened to the guys leg.

I'd call the owner gutsy. Gutsy AND stupid. Was he willing to die over a moped?

I watched him repeatedly circle and try to chase off the guy with the gun--he even got whacked on the head with the gun once---the guy with the gun could have decided to simply say: "Stop it you old fool!" and shoot him dead, he is lucky the guy only shot at his leg

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

The guy without the shirt was a complete and utter idiot! Gutsy..I don't think so...stupid is the more correct term. He has a weapon and doesn't present it...perhaps the wisest thing he did considering he had a weapon pointed at him and the BG would have probably pulled the trigger sooner than the did. Perhaps the GG should have retreated for cover, which was available, drawn his weapon to ready, and called 911. It was obvious the BG wasn't intelligent enough to start the scooter. The GG could have probably had lunch and a smoke, while waiting for the responding officers and watching the confusion of the BG. Would I have presented my weapon...ONLY, if after seeking cover, the BG had pointed his weapon at me AGAIN, would I have practiced my "sight picture" and squeezed off a round or two or three to COM. I reckon at that point I would have been justified. Just sayin.........

Sometimes in life you have to stand your ground. It's a hard lesson to learn and even most adults don't get it, but in the end only I can be responsible for my life. If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.

I agree w/ 1SG....this guy was an utter idiot for this. There was 3 other men he (shirtless dude) was near that could of called 911. It wasn't even his Moped, it was a friend of his.

@ OP - what is the purpose behind using racial slang (the honkey) there? Pretty sure if someone else posted this thread and said something like "A man in a hoodie (the n*****) held gun to shirtless man in attempt to steal moped" would probably have an entirely connotation and reading experience. Please keep the racial stuff off of here.

.. and your reference to (Hoodie Wearing) in the title was for what purpose ?

Man jogging down the trail with a hoodie... no probs
Man working on a job site with a hoodie on... no probs
Man playing hoop with a hoodie on ... no probs
Man stand there staring at your stuff for 20 mins with a hoodie on .... big problem
